A thrice-bankrupted property developer and his wife have been accused in High Court civil filings of withdrawing $342,961 of funds solicited from property investors.

Damien Grant and Steven Khov, of Waterstone Insolvency, liquidators for Blake Street Trustee, have filed a claim in the High Court in Auckland alleging Peter Chevin and his wife, Anne-Marie Chevin, withdrew the sum from the company between March 2010 and October 2011.

The claim alleges these transactions were funded by a complex scheme involving money taken out of three companies raising investor funds to develop real estate on Auckland's North Shore.

"The ultimate effect of the above series of transactions is that the first and second defendants used Hunter Capital, Hunter Gills Road and Albany Heights Villas to take investor funds and transfer it to themselves for no value," the claim alleges.

These three companies were part of a development syndicate that advertised heavily in Southeast Asia to raise funds to build properties on Auckland's North Shore.

Grant and Khov, also acting as liquidator for these three companies, have said in their reports that investors are owed more than $9 million from the developments that have all foundered.

Liquidators are seeking the return of the $342,961, plus interest and costs.

Chevin and his wife are defending the claim, provisionally set down for a two-day hearing in November.

Chevin declined to comment, or provide details of his defence, when contacted by Fairfax Media.

A third defendant, Peter Hill, is alleged to have taken over directing Blake Street just prior to Peter Chevin's bankruptcy.
